Probing multiple populations of compact binaries with third-generation gravitational-wave detectors

Ken K. Y. Ng, Salvatore Vitale, Will M. Farr +1

Third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave (GW) detectors will be able to observe binary-black-hole mergers (BBHs) up to redshift of . This gives unprecedented access to the…

Dynamical Formation Scenarios for GW190521 and Prospects for Decihertz Gravitational-Wave Astronomy with GW190521-Like Binaries

A. Miguel Holgado, Alexis Ortega, Carl L. Rodriguez

The gravitational-wave (GW) detection of GW190521 has provided new insights on the mass distribution of black holes and new constraints for astrophysical formation channels. With i…

Fast Multipole Methods for -body Simulations of Collisional Star Systems

Diptajyoti Mukherjee, Qirong Zhu, Hy Trac +1

Direct -body simulations of star clusters are accurate but expensive, largely due to the numerous pairwise force calculations. To solve the post-million-body…

One Channel to Rule Them All? Constraining the Origins of Binary Black Holes using Multiple Formation Pathways

Michael Zevin, Simone S. Bavera, Christopher P. L. Berry +7

The second LIGO-Virgo catalog of gravitational wave transients has more than quadrupled the observational sample of binary black holes. We analyze this catalog using a suite of fiv…

Black Hole Mergers from Hierarchical Triples in Dense Star Clusters

Miguel A. S. Martinez, Giacomo Fragione, Kyle Kremer +8

Hierarchical triples are expected to be produced by the frequent binary-mediated interactions in the cores of globular clusters. In some of these triples, the tertiary companion ca…

Demographics of triple systems in dense star clusters

Giacomo Fragione, Miguel A. S. Martinez, Kyle Kremer +6

Depending on the stellar type, more than \% and of stars in the field have at least one and two stellar companions, respectively. Hierarchical systems can be a…
